Exo Terra Plastic Plant Amapallo

The Exo Terra Amapallo Plastic Plant is a detailed artificial terrarium plant designed for reptile and amphibian enclosures where live plants simply aren't practical. Available in a range of sizes to suit terrariums of different scale, it brings natural-looking greenery to setups that would otherwise defeat real vegetation.

Where Live Plants Fall Short

High temperatures, low humidity, intense basking zones, and plant-eating species all make live planting difficult or impossible in many vivariums. Artificial plants fill those gaps without compromise — no wilting, no die-off, no special light requirements. The Amapallo is modelled closely on its natural counterpart, giving the enclosure a convincing planted appearance without the maintenance demands.

Functional as Well as Decorative

Beyond aesthetics, artificial plants serve genuine husbandry purposes inside a terrarium. They create additional cover and sightline breaks that help reduce stress in shy or skittish species, and they effectively increase the usable surface area of the enclosure. Positioned thoughtfully, they contribute to a more enriching environment alongside hides and other furnishings.

Combining Artificial and Live Planting

The Amapallo works particularly well as part of a mixed planting approach. Live plants can occupy the cooler, more humid zones of a vivarium while artificial plants like this one handle the areas — around basking spots or in arid setups — where nothing living would survive. The result is a fully planted-looking terrarium regardless of the conditions inside.

Choosing the Right Size

The Amapallo Plastic Plant is available in multiple sizes, from smaller options suited to compact terrariums or detailed scaping work, through to larger versions that provide more substantial coverage in bigger enclosures.
